UltraCruz® Livestock Electrolyte Plus Supplement for Cattle, Goats, Sheep and Pigs
- Helps replenish electrolytes and trace minerals lost during strenuous activity or exercise
- Promotes healthy muscle development
- Promotes post-exercise recovery
UltraCruz® Livestock Electrolyte Plus Supplement for Cattle, Goats, Sheep and Pigs contains comprehensive blend of beneficial macro and micro minerals designed to help reverse dehydration from the loss of fluids resulting from vigorous exercise or hot weather. Supplementing electrolytes helps replenish fluid loss, supports muscle development, and can help promote proper hydration by stimulating thirst.
Sodium is critical for normal nerve and muscle function. There is very little Sodium in forages and grains, and livestock exposed to hot weather may not consume enough sodium in their diet; and therefore, may require sodium supplementation. Magnesium serves as an electrolyte in the blood, acts as an activator of hundreds of enzymes, and as a participant in muscle contractions. Calcium also plays an important role in the functioning of muscle contraction, blood clotting, enzyme regulation, and hormone release.
